Baltimore Parks
The city of Baltimore is a leader in parks and recreation, with 262 parks and almost
6,000 acres set aside for parks and urban wilderness. More than a third of the city
is covered by green space, and 85 percent of the population is within walkable park
access. Beyond its extensive green space, Baltimore has painstakingly inventoried
and assessed its tree population. There are more than 120,000 trees within the city
limits, with 28,000 of them located in parks. Baltimore's tree inventory is available
online and includes location and tree identification. So, if a tour of trees is up your alley - check out the Baltimore Tree Inventory map (https://tinyurl.com/y5whbb94) for
the complete inventory of trees or Baltimore's Notable and Favorite Trees (https://

exemplary specimens, unusual species, notable, historic and memorable trees.
